Various local companies organiz-- ed for the purpose of prospecting for oil, are to be dissolved. Seven wells were drilled at various points but only three developed any oil and <those were not sufficieft to justify continuance. .

The : outstanding feature is that all of this work is paid for by hunting and fishing 1i-- fnes collected. Aside from the in-- crease in fines, almost all of the added revenue of the department of ecnservation is due to interest aroused among hunters and fisher-- men by the constructive game and fish restoration work of the: past trree years. The sale of more than £00,000 hunting and fishing liconses this year shows how widespread is this interest. ~ | _--For the first time in years a man is justified in purchasing a hunting and fishing license knowing that he will get his money's worth.
